Another day, another "Next Galaxy" image, this time sent by one of our own tipsters, who claims this is the hotly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S3. Your guess is as good as ours whether this is a final version, some prototype, or something else altogether, concocted through image editing.

There is evidently a physical home key, as rumored, and two capacitive buttons, while the whole setup resembles a lot the render from the leaked early manual of a Samsung GT-I9300 Galaxy S3 that we saw yesterday. The side bezel of what seems to be quite a big display is pretty thin, but we'll leave the speculations on screen size aside, as we can't vouch whether this is the real deal anyway.

In fact, Samsung's VP Robert Yi all but confirmed the naming scheme yesterday at the quarterly results conference call with the slip of the tongue “We are anticipating very strong demand of Galaxy S3”, so at least that guessing game seems to be over now. What are your thoughts on this latest claimant to be the Galaxy S3?

Thanks for the tip!
